Why 22 dec is the shortest day?

It is the shortest day for places located in the Northern Hemisphere only. Depending on the year, winter solstice falls around 22 december. The northern hemisphere will experience the shortest day while the southern hemisphere will experience the longest day.The reason behind this is season which is caused by the 23.5 degrees tilt from the Earth's axis and the revolution of the Earth which causes the hemispheres to experience different amount of day-time depending on the time of the year.


What is the shortest distance around the world?

If you mean by the words "direct route" the shortest distance between two places, distances between two places are shortest at the equator, because of the shape of the planet. If you mean which direction should be traveled to minimize distance, the route taken should be as straight a line as possible.


What geologic ages were Athyris alive?

Athyris was a genus of brachiopods that existed during the Carboniferous Period, specifically in the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian epochs. This places Athyris in the geologic ages of the Carboniferous Period, which lasted from approximately 359 to 299 million years ago.
